Apple and Cisco Learn to Share
by Sean Hackbarth
Apple (APPL) and Cisco (CSCO) decided spending oodles on lawsuits would get in the way of making better tech.

So Steve Jobs caves, right? Maybe, but he wins in the end. Look at the two iPhones. Which one would you buy? Sleek and sexy versus a 1993 remote control. And how are you going to watch a movie on Cisco’s gadget?
